No Place For Soul

It was in 1995 in Landerneau that the course of No Place For Soul, led by two friends, Jam Cavarec (Chant) and Fred Diverrez (Guitare), began, at the turn of a conversation animated by their passion for Heavy Metal and Rage Against The Machine decided to set up a band. Christophe Tocanier (Battery) and Stéphane Gourmelon (Basse) can come after completing the training. After some rehearsals in their cellars, then at the Black Square in Landerneau, which will be their first name, the group joins the services of Max (Guitare / Samples / Chant). Initially, they find it difficult to find themselves because of their various influences, but the texts are politically engaged and imagery is intended to be militant. Fred Tari replaces Christophe behind the drums and No Place For Soul gives his first concert in Guingamp after two years of rehearsals. Max brings an Indus side to the band with sounds that evoke Ministry, but Fred leaves the band shortly after, before their first part, to four musicians, for Mass Hysteria. No Place For Soul released a first self-produced ep in 1998, then Stéphane left the band and it was Christophe Menuet (Al Kapott , Powertrip , Piece Of Mind ) who replaced him. From then on, No Place For Soul took on another dimension thanks to the mastery of the machines, the arrival of Jeff Bock as second guitarist and the release of International/Trance/Guerilla in 2000 which began to make them speak meaningfully in Brittany. But Fred and Jeff left the band and Stéphane Roussey (Guitare) and François Guichou (Batterie) replaced them. At the beginning of 2001, the Bretons chartered a bus to Davos in Switzerland to protest against the World Economic Forum and to play there incidentally. Not able to access Devos, they give a concert in Zurioch with Juliette from HHM replacing for the occasion Bichon. Their contacts led them to record Full Global Racket , their first album, in Switzerland, the following year, to be signed by Enragés Productions which later became Enrage Corporation led by Nicolas Giraudet of Tagada Jones and the record sells more than 6,000 copies and brings them a recognition and radiation that goes far beyond the Great West. Jam stopped No Place For Soul in 2003 and the rest of the group ended the adventure at the end of 2003 considering that continuing without its founding member is no longer possible. A final concert is held in Rennes in the City Hall, but the choice of the city is judged by their audience as unwelcome and a second date is scheduled at the Landerneau Family with guests such as Freedom For King Kong, HHM and Hannibal Striker. A final song is played with a cover of Anarchy In The Uk of Sex Pistols. The trio Christophe Menuet (Basse), Jam Cavarec (Chant) and Max (Guitare) will continue to work with Jean Torch (Battery - Merzhin) and Erwan Say (Guitare - Al Kapott , Mass Hysteria ) for Working Class Zeroes.
